The Soma Alchemy Institute
Integrating science, somatic practice, and transpersonal wisdom to educate the next generation of embodied practitioners.
Heal
The Whole Human
Mind. Body. Nervous system. Relationships. Consciousness. Soul.
Healing becomes more complete when we stop separating what has always been connected.
Bridge
Science & Soul
Curiosity belongs on both sides.
We believe evidence-based science and human experience become stronger when explored together.
Live
What You Learn
Transformation is not measured by information.
It is measured by grounded embodiment.
Why Soma Alchemy Was Created
The Soma Alchemy Institute was born from one simple observation:
Too often, healing is divided into separate disciplines that rarely speak to one another.
Medicine studies the body. Psychology studies the mind. Spiritual traditions explore meaning. Trauma work explores survival. Neuroscience studies the nervous system.
Yet human beings experience all of these at once.
After more than two decades as a psychotherapist and over three decades as an intuitive healer, I became increasingly passionate about bringing these conversations together rather than keeping them apart.
The Soma Alchemy Institute exists to create educational experiences that integrate science, somatic practice, psychology, and transpersonal perspectives with curiosity, integrity, and compassion.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide accessible educational experiences, certification programs, workshops, retreats, and professional training opportunities that honor the connection between mind, body, spirit, and community.
Current offerings are in development.
